About this house rental

This home is on the ideal south end of Torch Lake, which is one of the world's most beautiful lakes--a sandy bottom, crystal clear water plus amazing turquoise and deep blue tropical colors the deeper it gets. On this property, it is shallow enough to enjoy walks from the shorefront all of the way to the "drop off" (you can literally walk for approximately 1/2 mile to the "drop off", which is where it finally gets super deep), or just hang out in the water gathered around the large dock and enjoy time together swimming, playing games or just floating in this beautiful clear lake.

Sun rises to the right and sets to the left--both times of the day, making for a beautiful view. If not in the water, sit on land, relax and enjoy the view from the spacious front yard & patio or the newly renovated large dock. Lastly, if you would prefer to be inside (or the weather forces you to be inside), enjoy the nice view from multiple gathering areas, where you can relax, play inside games or just watch TV.

The yard has plenty of room for the kids (& adults) to run around and play games or just hang out.

If renting a boat, it is not too shallow to bring it to the dock to load up the crew for a day of boating. There is a mooring buoy right out front.

In the evening, enjoy eating on the patio or the dock to enjoy the view and weather. Or if weather isn't cooperating, there is plenty of room inside for the crew to eat and hang out. After dinner, you can enjoy a lakeside bonfire and roast s'mores if you desire!

This home has 3 large gathering areas (upstairs, main level, basement), a large kitchen, 5 bedrooms (6 counting the basement) and 4 full bathrooms. It was remodeled in 2019. It is the perfect house for "fun-bunching" with everyone OR escaping on your own in one of the many spaces throughout the house.

This home has a large basement which has a full bathroom, a sitting area with a large TV and a couch, an area with two bunkbeds (twin over full bunk beds) and finally a lovely view of the lake through windows & French doors. This basement doubles as a 6th bedroom and/or a 3rd gathering space (aka "3rd family room").

There is a grocery store just down the road and several restaurants nearby. Additionally, Alden and Elk Rapids are both a short 15 min drive with quaint shops and restaurants. Bellaire (with Short's Brewery) is ~22 min drive. Traverse City is a 35 min drive with shopping, restaurants, airport and more--a definite must visit!

In the winter, multiple ski resorts and tubing locations are close by as well as places to rent snowmobiles. Winters are beautiful here in northern Michigan--lots of snow and opportunities to enjoy it to its fullest or just cozy up in this beautiful home and enjoy the snow from the indoors!

You will not be let down with this beautiful home and wonderful location on Torch Lake. We are very excited to be able to share this gem with you and would be happy to answer any questions you might have.

We loved our time at this home. We are returning guests and enjoyed our time here as much as we did the first time!

This home allowed our family to come together and enjoy days on the lake, nights working on puzzles, and time to just relax. Trying to find a location that will fit our entire family and still provide enough privacy for the times you have to "get away" is hard, but this did it. So thankful for the opportunity, looking forward to coming back again next year!

We couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend our family vacation. It is a great location and spacious enough for the kids and grandkids. We had a couple days of cooler and rainy days, but Traverse City is just a short drive with plenty of things for the kids to do. The big kids enjoyed the Casino and the grandkids enjoyed Pirates Cove adventure park. When it was sunny we all loved the kayaks, paddle boards, campfires and the beautiful sunsets. I think the next time we venture to northern Michigan we’ll go later in the summer when the water may be a bit warmer. Thank you for sharing your home with me and my family. Memories were definitely made for a lifetime.
